iMemorial 

OF 

JOSEPH DODGE 

n 

BY HIS SON 


MARTIN DODGE, A. M. 

Presented at the 36th Annual Reuion of the 
Canfield Family, June 26, 1915 


CLEVELAND, OHIO 







S •) 

<v tj 

< ; 






This is the thirty-sixth reunion of the Canfield Family. The 
Dodge Family has had but two. One in 1879 at Salem, Massa- 
chusetts, and one in 1896 at Worcester, Massachusetts. 

The first was attended by about one thousand members of 
the Dodge family from all parts of the United States and re- 
sulted in the publication by Joseph T. Dodge of Madison, Wis- 
consin, of the Genealogy of the Dodge Family from 1629 to 
1894 — a volume of 447 pages. The second was attended by a 
smaller number and was followed by the publication of the 
second volume of the Genealogy of the Dodge Family, 1629 
to 1898, by the same author — a volume of 220 pages. 

At the first reunion, Ruben Rawson Dodge, of Wilkinson- 
ville, Massachusetts, made the following explanatory remarks: 

“It has been thirty years since I began to study and collect the 
records of the Dodge family, with a desire of obtaining an authentic 
genealogical history of the names of those who had distinguished them- 
selves within the past two hundred and fifty years, since our first an- 
cestor landed at this City of Salem. Today I seem to be standing on 
sacred ground, where my remote ancestors lived, wept, prayed, and 
died. 

“The many fields and brooks I love to wander among, turn me 
back to the time since ten generations have passed away, and today 
we have returned to commemorate their history — one of the oldest 
New England families. 

“Not a few of its members have been brilliant. I feel proud to be 
able to point out a few who are now present in this hall, viz : to Sena- 
tor Augustus G. Dodge, a son of General Henry Dodge, late Senator in 
Congress from Iowa, and for many years had a seat side by side with 
his distinguished father : who was also several years Minister to Spain, 
and whose public life has been well known for the past quarter of a 
century, as the founder of Iowa and Wisconsin. 

“To General Grenville M. Dodge, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, the gal- 
lant soldier, and well known in many fields of battle during the late 
rebellion, a native of Danvers, in this County of Essex. 

“To Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Dodge, the President of Madison College, 
Hamilton, N. Y., so well and long known, a native of Essex County. 

“To Major Ben. Perley Poore, the well known Washington corres- 
pondent of some of our most popular New England journals (or news- 
papers) ; and finally to our honored presiding officer at this meeting, 
the Hon. Wm. E. Dodge, so long and favorably known as one connected 
with every benevolent object, who has made our name one of which 
we should have a just pride. 

“I repeat : Today, we have of this generation, with us in this hall, 
a few of the name who have made their mark in the world.

“What should we say of the many who were more or less distin- 
guished through every generation? 

“Today, let us make it a special object to have collected, if pos- 
sible, and put into permanent book form, the genealogical and bio- 
graphical history of our family name.” 

My father, Joseph Dodge, was born in Whitestown, Oneida 
County, N. Y., on the 15th day of May, 1812. That is now a 
deserted village not far from Rome, the county seat, which is 
situated in the upper valley of the Mohawk, about twenty-five 
miles from Oswego on Lake Ontario, and about seventy-five 
miles from Buffalo to the west. 

He was born only seven years after the first white man had 
crossed the North American continent, and two years before 
the first white man had settled in Auburn, Geauga County, 
Ohio, which was destined to be his future home by reason of 
his marriage into the Canfield family. 

It was a time when the pioneer had ventured but little 
west of the Allegheny mountains, and in the western centers 
of civilization where millions now live surrounded by all that 
exalts and embellishes civilized life, “the rank thistle nodded 
in the wind and the wild fox dug his hole unscared.” 

Jim Crocker lived far in the woods, a solitary place. 

Where the bushes grew like whiskers on his unrazored face. 

And the black bear was his brother and the catamount his chum, 

And Jim he lived and waited for the millions yet to come. 

The hardships and privations of pioneer life still rested 
heavily on the entire community. Invention and machinery 
had not yet shortened the hours of labor nor lightened its 
burdens, nor added much to its rewards — at least not in wages. 

The division of labor and the application of machinery 
have since multiplied the producing power of labor by more 
than ten; and it is only by such means that it is possible for 
any community to have that great abundance of useful things 
in the midst of which we now live, and which minister so much 
to the common use of the common people. 

Mr. Gladstone estimated the increased wealth in the world 
from 1800 to 1850 at more than the entire accumulation up to 
that time. Marvelous as this seems it is still more marvelous 
that during the last fifty years the wealth in this country has 
been multiplied by four or more. This great wealth has been 
produced by laying the hand of industry with its ten fold

potency on the boundless and inexhaustible resources of our 
country which God and nature have placed within our power. 
Fortunate are we, happy our country and prosperous our coun- 
trymen in that our ancestors saw and knew these boundless 
resources and appropriated them to their and our uses. They 
did not go down to the sea in ships for their great wealth but 
turned their faces to the land with its limitless resources, and 
sought and secured the greatest wealth and prosperity ever 
vouchsafed a nation or a people. They turned their faces to 
the setting sun and to the course of Empire which westward 
took its way. The subject of this sketch was one of those 
who joined the great procession. 

The road that passed his father’s door, 

He thought stretched on for evermore; 

Through fragment vales of tangled grass, 

O’er many a misty mountain pass. 

Out into wonders unexpressed, 

Beyond the cloudlands of the West. 

Through lands and cities of renown. 

To where the mighty sun goes down. 

And so he left his father’s door 
And said: “I will return no more.” 

He traveled forth beyond the bridge. 

He climbed the lofty mountain ridge. 

He passed the river and the town 
To find out where the sun went down; 

But when he sank at close of day 
The sunset still was far away. 

When he was twenty-four years of age in 1836 he married 
Hanna P. Canfield, the only daughter of Henry and Rachel Can- 
field. She was born 7 December, 1818, in Canandaigua, the 
county seat of Ontario County, N. Y., where the Canfields then 
lived. So my father and mother were both born in the Empire 
State, but slightly separated by time or space, or circumstances 
or conditions of life. They were both of pure blooded New 
England stock — Puritans of the Puritans. 

The Dodges were from Salem and Beverly, Mass., and 
the Canfields were from Milford, Conn. Both families trace 
their lineage back to the most ancient times. Their names are 
older than the English language. More than eighteen genera- 
tions ago the superior standing of both families in England 
was recognized by the Government. This measures a period 
of more than six hundred years.

MEMORIAL 


On the 8th day of April, 1306, in the thirty-fourth year of 
the reign of Edward I, a coat of arms was granted to Peter 
Dodge; and in 1350 a coat of arms was granted to the ancestor 
whose name finally became Canfield. Representations of these 
coats of arms will be found depicted on the covers of this 
pamphlet. The terms, causes and conditions of these grants 
are fully set forth by the College of Heralds. They are all 
elaborated, embellished, illuminated and emblazoned in the 
Books of Heraldry of the English people. It is interesting to 
note in this connection that the grant of arms to Peter Dodge 
is the first ever granted by the College of Heralds. The lan- 
guage from Guillims’ Display of Heraldry, Vol. I, p. 255, is as 
follows: 

“He beareth Barry of Six pieces. Or and Sable over all a Pale 
Gules charged with a woman’s Dug, Distilling Drops of Milk proper by 
the name of Dodge. And here because I find in the Office of Arms a 
copy of the first grant of this Coat Armour and that very ancient, I 
think convenient to acquaint the Reader with some particulars of the 
said Patent, as I there find it; whereby appeareth that James Headingly, 
then Guyen King of Armes, after recital made of the loyal and valient 
service which Peter Dodge, born in the town of Stopworth in the 
County of Chester. Gentlemen, had done to King Edward the first 
(for as it there appeareth by the Copy, this instrument beareth date 
of the 8th of April in the 34th year of that King’s reign) in diverse 
Battles and sieges for which the said king had remunerated the said 
Peter with the Gift of a Seignory, or. Lordship there mentioned. He 
(I say) the said King of Armes, after such recital made, doth give and 
grant unto the said Peter Dodge, that from thence forth. He (under- 
stand the said Peter) beareth Barry of Six Pieces, or and Sable, over 
all a Pale Gules, charged with a woman’s Dug distilling milk, proper, 
for so are the very words and their authography in the Copy of the 
Patent, which is in French. This much whereof, I thought fit to pre- 
sent to the Public View, not doubting but the judicious reader, by 
careful observation thereof may make some good use. The function 
of this member is thus taught us 2 Esdr 8. For thou hast commanded 
the members, even the Breasts, to give Milk unto the fruit appointed 
for the Breasts, that the thing which is created might be nourished for 
a time, till thou disposist it to thy Mercy.” 

I copy the following from a Historical Address by Robert 
Dodge of New York City, delivered at Salem, Mass., 10 July, 
1879, before the Assembly of the Representatives of the Dodge 
family in the United States on the two hundred and fiftieth 
anniversary of the landing of their first ancestor from England 
in America.

“Our ancient family name comes from Saxon root of their ancient 
Folk Speech, which like the Hebrew has a meaning and history fre- 
quently of greater significance than those of Latin Europe.” 

“Spelman in his Glossary of Anglo-Saxon — the highest authority 
on the subject — derives it from ‘Dug’ or Dugge; a woman’s breast. This 
is verified and confirmed by the ancient, original Patent of the Family 
Arms; and to the same effect is Guillim’s Display of Heraldry. 

“As the Patent is of itself a historical curiosity and the armorial 
bearing depicts the meaning of the name according to its Saxon origin; 
besides reciting the achievements and locality of the Patentee and the 
founder of the family in England I may be allowed on this occasion 
to reproduce the original Patent as certified from the College of 
Heralds, London. 

“The original Patent is in Norman French of which I give a literal 
translation from the parchment copy in my possession with rich Em- 
blazonment of the Arms certified as extracted from the records of the 
College of Arms, London, Thos. Wm. King York Herald 30 March 1850.” 

FIRST PATENT 

“To all Men loving Nobleness, Virtue and Chivalry; and to all 
“Ladies and Maidens of honor, of honest deportment and gentleness 
“and to each of them. 

“I, James Headingly, called Guyen King of Arms; Greeting in Peace 
“and Good Speed. Above all that which appertains to the honorable 
“office of a Herald is first; to record the good fame and renown of 
“all honest and virtuous persons. So, likewise it is suitable and 
“fit, to Give and set in order to such persons Ensigns and Arms of 
“honor; so, that their noble and valient deeds of arms may be perserved 
“in perpetual remembrance. 

“And therefore having regard to the loyal and valient service 
“of Peter Dodge, a native of the Town of Stopworth, in the County of 
“Chester, Gentlemen, which he has done and performed to my most 
“dear and Soverign Lord, by the Grace of God, King of England, Lord 
“of Ireland, and Duke of Guyen, as well in several battles against his 
“great enemy and rebel, Baliol, King of Scotland and Vassel of Eng- 
“land, as likewise in the Sieges of Berwrick and Dunbar, there, 
‘where, in his duty and valient, courage, he was conspicuous for 
“the advancement of his renown and the good content of my said Sov- 
“erign Lord, who in recompense of his said service, and by his “Spe- 
“cial Grace, Gave to Him and to his Heirs forever, the Lordship of 
“Podenhue with the Barony of Goldingham, in the Kingdom of Scotland. 

“I have thought it, therefore, convenient in the performance of 
“my office to Grant him Arms, accordingly; and especially for two 
“reasons; the one for having valiently served towards the King’s peace 
“and the public good; the other, that his heirs and successors by the 
“remembrance of his honor and valor may be encouraged to follow 
“him, always in like virtue and noble conduct and for which cause;

MExMORIAL 


“Know Ye, That I, the aforesaid Guyen, have Given and Granted to the 
“said Peter Dodge, that from henceforth he may carry his Shield: 
“ ‘Barry of Six; or and Sable; on a Pale gules, a woman’s breast 
“Goutant, which Arms appear here in view depicted, I Guyen King 
“of Arms, have Given and Confirmed to the said Peter Dodge, and 
“to his heirs forever, to have, enjoy and use the same, and in them 
“to be allowed and clothed for the advancement of their honor as 
“well as in all Triumphs, Jousts, Tournaments, and other deeds of 
“Arms, as also in Martial Matters and Enterprises, that may be requi- 
“site in peace or in war, in all places and at all times, according 
“to their pleasure, without the impeachment of any person or persons. 

“In testimony of which I have subjoined my seal. 

“Given the 8th day of April, the thirty-fourth year of the reign 
“of our said Soverign Lord, Edward, Son of King Henry, after the 
“Conquest the first of that name.” 

“Another Patent Grant of Arms, of a much later date, viz: 1547; or 
38th year Henry VHI is also on record in the College of Arms, London 
and likewise Certified.” 

“It is shorter, to John Dodge of Rotham Kent, and inasmuch as 
it confirms the First Patent, as then very ancient; and describes the 
Crest also, I may be allowed here to give it in modernized English.” 

SECOND PATENT 

“To all nobles and Gentles, Reading, Hearing, or Seeing these Letters 
“present: Thomas Hawley, as Clarencieux principal Herald and King 
“of Arms of the South, East and West parts of the Realm of England 
“from the River Trent Southward sendeth due and humble Commenda- 
“tion and Greeting; Equity willith and Reason ordereth, that men vir- 
“tuous, and of noble courage be by their merits and good renown 
“rewarded; not only their persons in this mortal life, so brief and 
“transitory, but also after them, those that shall be of their body de- 
“scended, to the end that by their example, others may the more en- 
“force themselves to get this renown of ancient nobles, in their lines 
“and posterities. 

“And forasmuch as John Dodge of Rotham in the County of Kent, 
“Gentlemen is descended of a House bearing Arms, granted and given 
“by James Headingly a Guyen King of Arms the VHI day of April in 
“the XXXVHI year of the Reign of King Edward the First, to Peter 
“Dodge, born in Stopworth in the County of Chester, Gentlemen, there 
“being as more plainly appeareth by the Said Patent, of which the 
“said John descended, therefore, the said Clarencieux, King of Arms by 
“the authority and power awarded, attributed, given and granted by 
“the King our Soverign Lord by Express words, under his most noble 
“Great Seal, to me and to my office of Clarencieux King of Arms; Do 
“Ratify, Set forth. Confirm and Grant to the said John Dodge, Gentle- 
“men, for him and his posterity the said Arms with a Crest thereunto 
“in mannor as hereafter followeth, that is to say: Gold and Sable,

“Upon his Helmet on a Torse, gold and azure a Demi Lion maryn, 
“Sable, languid and armed gules; above his neck a Gemmel Gold Man- 
“tled Gules, Dobled Situ, as more plainly appeareth depicted in the 
“Margin. To have and to hold the said Crest and Arms to the said 
“John Dodge, Gentlemen, for him and his posterity and they it to use 
“and enjoy evermore. 

“In witness whereof I, the said Clarencieux King of Arms have 
“signed this present Confirmation with my hand and set the seal of 
“my arms with the seal of my office of Clarencieux King of Arms. 
“Given and Granted at London the XVI day of December in the 
“XXXVIIIth year of the reign of our Soverign Lord Henry the Eighth, 
“by the Grace of God, King of England, France and Ireland, Defender 
“of the Faith and of the Church of England and Ireland on Earth 
“the Supreme Head.’’ 

I have stated above that my mother was an only daughter. 
She was not, however, an only child. The family was large — 
ten children, all boys but one. Their names were Hiram, 
Barton, Tyrus, Nathan B., Charles G., Hannah P., George 
Woodward, Henry Jr., Henry K., and Albert Benjamin. 

In 1821 Henry Canfield moved with his famil^’^ from New 
York to Ohio and settled on Bridge Creek in Auburn, Geauga 
County, where he built what afterwards came to be known as 
May’s Mill. This was the first mill built in the township. His 
large and growing family attained an eminence in the com- 
munity not surpassed and probably not equalled by any other. 
Many in number, pure in blood, high in character, strong and 
vigorous in their physical development, they were diligent in 
business and successful in their undertakings. Although finally 
diminished in number and many of them scattered to distant 
places where they fought the good fight and finished the course, 
their history like the path of the just, is as a shining light that 
shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 

Into such a family my father married. None of his own 
people ever settled in the community and he seems to have 
been entirely and permanently separated from all his kith 
and kin. I never heard him say that he had a relative in the 
world. Actuated by the thought that the chain of descent might 
be broken, which has so often happened in so many families, 
he made an indorsement on a leather pocketbook which was 
found among his personal effects. The indorsement fixes the 
time and place of his birth and is shown on the last page of 
this memorial. He seems to have said in effect, to his father-

in-law, what Ruth said to her mother-in-law, Naomi : “Entreat 
me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee; 
for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I 
will lodge; thy people, shall be my people, and thy God, my 
God. Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried; 
the Lord do so to me and more also, if aught but death part 
thee and me.” And so it was. In life they were united and in 
death they were not divided. When my grandfather, Henry 
Canfield, died, my father bought the homestead farm — 100 
acres — located two miles south of the center of Auburn, and 
my father and mother both lived and died in the same house 
where my grandfather and grandmother had lived and died 
before them. They all lie buried in the cemetery at the center 
of Auburn. 

My mother was a Puritan and a Spartan. She taught by 
precept and example, the theory and practice of the most re- 
markable people that ever lived. She had the zeal of the Puri- 
tan and the fortitude of the Spartan. The high ideals of the 
one she combined with the practical wisdom of the other. Her 
watchwords were, patience, industry, frugality and economy, 
and these she followed as the cloud by day and the pillar of 
fire by night. She was the mother of seven children, all but 
one of whom grew to maturity. Like the Roman matron she 
regarded her children as her jewels and like the mother in 
Israel, “she riseth also while it is yet night and giveth meat to 
her household. Her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth 
her hands to the spindle and her hands hold the distaff. She 
is not afraid of the snow for her household, for her household 
is clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tap- 
estry. Her clothing is silk and purple.” 

She was ambitious for the advancement of her children 
in knowledge and industry; but she knew and often said there 
was no royal road to learning, and no easy place in life. That 
the load of life rests lightly only on those who have strength- 
ened themselves by endurance to bear it. The yoke is easy and 
the burden light only to those who see that all things work 
together for good. Like the Spartan mother she knew that the 
defenses of life must be as the walls of Sparta, of men and not 
of bricks, and her children went forth in the battle of life like 
Abraham, not knowing whither he went. Her prayer, like that 
of the Hebrew parent was, “Lord, I believe, help thou, mine

unbelief.” Her creed was salvation by works rather than by 
faith. Accordingly she always taught the maxims of life and 
the proverbs of wisdom. She never tired of saying that the 
stream can not rise higher than its fountain and that God helps 
them who help themselves. 

Experience keeps a dear school but fools will learn in no other. 

Industry need not wish but a fool and his money are soon parted. 

He that lives on hope will die fasting. 

There are no gains without pains. 

Fly pleasures and they’ll follow you. 

Keep your shop and your shop will keep you. If you would have 
your business done, go; if not, send. 

He who by the plow would thrive. 

Himself must either hold or drive. 

What maintains one vice would bring up two children. 

If you would have a faithful servant and one that you like, serve 
yourself. 

A stitch in time saves nine. 

For want of a nail the shoe was lost. 

For want of a shoe the horse was lost. 

For want of a horse, the rider was lost. 

These were to her the phylosophers’ stone. 

She took a like refuge in the Proverbs of Solomon, most all of 
which she knew by heart and constantly quoted. 

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom and the man that getteth 
understanding. 

Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand, riches 
and honor. 

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of 

life. 

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to 
sleep. 

So shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth and thy want as 
an armed man. 

The way of the transgressor is hard. 

A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up 
anger. 

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and 
hatred therewith. 

Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. 

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that 
ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. 

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches and loving 
favor rather than silver and gold.

The slothful man saith there is a lion in the way. Seest thou a 
man diligent in business, he shall stand before kings. 

The drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty and drowsi- 
ness shall clothe a man with rags. 

Boast not of tomorrow for thou knowest not what a day may bring 
forth. 

The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are 
bold as a lion. 

Give me neither poverty nor riches. 

My father was a t^^pical, pure blooded, blue-eyed white 
man. He was about five feet nine inches in height and weighed 
about 200 pounds. His limbs were large and solid, always, 
however, maintaining a true and perfect proportion with a 
large, well formed and well rounded body. His chest was deep 
and heavy and his shoulders broad and square. They sup- 
ported a short, thick neck, which was surmounted by a large, 
well shaped head covered with a shock of the thickest, heaviest, 
dark brown hair. He had a straight, patrician nose and his 
eyes were azure blue. He made no sign of the cross upon his 
body but worshiped the hoi}" trinity of health, which consisted 
of pure air, pure water and pure food. Accordingly, his body, 
was uncommonly well nourished by an abundant flow of 
arterial blood, the red corpuscles of which gave a ruddy glow 
always perceptible under the fine texture of a thin white skin 
without spot or blemish. With unfailing vigor he was never 
tired and never sick — a rare combination of strength, skill and 
dexterity. 

His were the Viking’s sinewy hands, 

The arching feet of Eastern lands. 

The marks of Eden you could trace 
Throughout his form, throughout his face. 

He was an excellent specimen of the conquering race that rules 
the world — the race that has marched with resistless power from the 
Garden of Eden to the Golden Gate — the race that is supreme on land 
and sea. The race that is now moulding the world. 

When Marco Polo traveled from Venice to China 660 years ago, 
he found a white man sitting on the throne of that Empire. His de- 
scription of Kublai Khan is so surprising and unique and so exactly 
suitable to the subject of this sketch that I copy it here: 

“He is of the middle stature, that is, neither tall nor short. His 
limbs are well formed and in his whole figure there is a just propor- 
tion. He has a becoming amount of flesh and is very shapely in all 
his limbs. His complexion is white suffused with red, like the bright 
tint of the rose, which adds much grace to his countenance. His 
eyes are blue and handsome, his nose, well shaped and prominent.”

• Thus well equipped for the battle of life, he entered in at 
the straight gate and kept upon the narrow way. His ancestors 
for several generations had manifested in a high degree, the 
inventive genius and the constructive faculty. This was his 
inheritance, and his constant ideal was to perfect himself in 
mechanical and constructive work. In this he succeeded to 
the fullest extent. He greatly excelled in the perfection of his 
work. His mathematical training had never taken him beyond 
the sine and co-sine, but his practical knowledge of mechanics 
was unlimited. There was no error in his formulas and no 
flaw in his workmanship. The following is copied from the 
Genealogy of the Dodge Family, 1629-1898, by Joseph T. Dodge, 
Vol. 2, page 576. 

“Joseph Dodge^ (Jesse,® Jesse, ^ Jonathan,^ Jonathan, Edward, Rich- 
ard) born 15 May, 1812, in Whitestown, Oneida County, N. Y. As he 
grew to manhood he became very skillful and proficient as a mill- 
wright; and for more than forty years held a leading position among 
that craft in this country. He was in reality a mechanical engineer, 
though known among his neighbors as a millwright. Small mills were 
numerous in those days and were generally run by .water power. To 
design and build such mills became his life work, in which he ac- 
quired that high degree of proficiency which made him capable of 
designing and carrying out every detail, not only of the building, but 
of all the machinery pertaining to it — from the great overshot wheel 
that generated the power to the smallest pinion that communicated 
motion. His skill and accuracy became proverbial and the mills de- 
signed and built by him were scattered through New York, Pennsyl- 
vania, Ohio, Canada, and Colorado. During the later years of his life 
he was engaged in building railroad work, especially bridges, and was 
employed by Kennard and McHenry on the Atlantic and Great Western 
Railroad up to the time of its completion in 1864. In that year he 
crossed the plains from the Missouri River to Denver in a stage coach 
to superintend the building of a quartz mill for Kennard in Colorado. 
When this was completed he returned to his farm in Auburn, in 1866, 
never to undertake again difficult enterprises in distant places. That 
accuracy on which was based the excellence of his work also mani- 
fested itself in his character to such an extent that he never made a 
statement that was either inaccurate or untrue.” 

During the course of his professional career, he had col- 
lected together a most perfect outfit of tools and instruments, 
suitable and necessary to all kinds of rare and difficult work. 
These he guarded as the apple of his eye. They rested like 
jewels in a polished case of his own construction, never to be 
seen by vulgar eyes and never to be handled by unskillful 
hands. This was his ark of the covenant. It was like the 
shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

His tools were his friends and his talents were his fortune. 
In his chosen work no problem was too intricate, no task too 
difficult and no day too long. In the intensity of his mental 
application he took no thought for the morrow, and in the per- 
fection of his work he saw the beatific vision. In that, his eye 
was single and his whole body full of light. His motto was 
never “how much” but always “how good.” “Be ye therefore 
perfect” was the habitual contemplation of his thought; and 
the perfection of his work was based on that conception. He 
acknowledged no criterion but accuracy. He worshiped no God 
but perfection. As a child never tires in its play so he never 
tired in his chosen work. And thus he became as a little child 
and entered into the kingdom of heaven which was within him. 
So he penetrated the open secret of nature which Jesus tried to 
explain to his disciples: “Except ye become as little children 
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” 

And so also he worshiped that unknown God whom Paul 
declared unto the Athenians who dwelleth not in temples made 
with hands but who is not far from every one of us in whom 
we live and move and have our being. “Ye shall know that ye 
are in the City of God for ye are the City.” 

The world is not governed by laws written on tables of 
stone but by laws written on the tablets of the heart. God has 
not left himself without witness in any place or at any time, in 
any country or in any clime, in any people or in any race. 
Witness the angel of the Jew, the demon of the Greek, the 
Karma of the Hindoo, and the totem of the Esquimeau. The 
world is made flesh and dwells within us. That is the divinity 
that shapes our ends, rough them how we may. 

He believed in the piety of usefulness, but not in the use- 
fulness of piety. He held no belief in the so-called saving 
ordinances and took no refuge in the doctrine of vicarious 
atonement. But 

He knew that his belief 
Was the anodyne of grief, 

Which would always be a friend 
That would keep him to the end.

He never forgot that the whole is equal to the sum of all of 
its parts. And in producing the most complicated machinery 
of the flouring mills and setting it in motion, he never neglected 
the slightest detail in the construction or inspection of the work. 
He allowed no fly in the ointment and permitted no bug in the 
amber. Every shaft must be straight and every spindle plumb. 
Every bearing must be solid and the babbitt in every box. No 
pulley could wabble, no pinion slip, no gear rattle. 

Finally, after everything had been made in perfect order, 
he would raise his hand and give the signal to the gate-man to 
turn the water from the waste weir into the flume. This was 
the final test. The great overshot wheel would respond to its 
weight of water and directly the wheels and pulleys, the pinions 
and gears, the shafts and spindles, the stems and gudgens were 
all whirling in the poetry of motion. The stream that never 
tires had been joined to the circle that has no end. As the great 
musician can detect the slightest discord of a single note in a 
symphony orchestra, so this master mechanic could detect the 
slightest defect or lack of harmony in this complicated sym- 
posium of power and motion. With perfect delight he would 
pass and repass from basement to attic, seeing, hearing and 
feeling the vibrations. This was melody to his mind and 
rhythm to his body. It was like the music of the spheres as 
it played on his harp of a thousand strings. It was the diapason 
of his life. 

The harnessed river panting was as lyrics in his ears. 

And this he well remembered in the climax of his years. 

His life was like a weel-gaun mill, 

Supplied wi’ store o’ water 

The heape’d happen’s ebbing still 

And still the clap plays clatter. 

’Twas the story of his lifetime that in such music rings, 

But every life’s a blind man’s tune that’s played on broken strings. 

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this remarkable 
man was the fact that he retained all his faculties— both mental 
and physical— with but slightly diminished vigor almost up to 
the very day of his death. On that day, having shaved himself 
and made his toilet he suddenly expired by reason of heart 
failure, at the age of sixty-six.

He had fully complied with the oriental wisdom which 
teaches that he is a happy man who has built a house, dug a 
well, planted a tree and begotten a son. He dwelt in a pleasant 
country and followed a peaceful calling. But most of all he 
manifested “beneath the stroke of life’s changes a mind that 
shaketh not, without grief and without passion. On every side 
they are invincible who do acts like these. On every side they 
walk in safety, and this is the greatest blessing.” 

“He so lived that when his summons came to join 
The innumerable caravan that moves 
To the pale realms of shade where each shall take 
His chamber in the silent halls of death, 

He went, not like the quarry slave at night 
Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed 
By an unfaltering trust, approached his grave. 

Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch 
About him and lies down to pleasant dreams.” 

If we try to analyze the causes which have produced the 
abounding prosperity of this country and made it the foremost 
in all the world we shall find that the inventor and the me- 
chanic have contributed most. Without their genius and skill 
there could be no increase in the power of production and 
without an increase in the productive power of labor there 
could be no abundance of useful things in the midst of which 
we live. The ancient Greeks in a vain endeavor to attain this 
efficiency, created the imaginary Briareus with a hundred 
hands. Our mechanics and inventors have far surpassed this 
ideal and have made the hands of one equal a thousand — as wit- 
ness the power loom in comparison with the hand loom, or the 
nail mill in comparispn with the blacksmith’s hammer. We 
cannot honor too highly the men who have made such a great 
contribution to the general welfare — who have added so much 
to the sum of knowledge and to the common wealth of our 
country. 

President McKinley was right when he said in his last 
speech at Buffalo, on 5 of September, 1901 : “Our real eminence 
rests in the victories of peace, not those of war.” 

Buckle was right when he said in his “History of Civiliza- 
tion in England” : 

“The desolation of countries and the slaughter of men are losses 
which never fail to be repaired, and at the distance of a few centuries 
every vestige of them is efaced. * * * * put the discoveries of

great men never leave us; they are immortal; they contain those eternal 
truths which survive the shock of empires, outlive the struggles of 
rival creeds, and witness the decay of successive religions. All these 
have their different measures and their different standards; one set 
of opinions for one age, another set for another. They pass away like 
a dream; they are as the fabric of a vision, which leaves not a rack 
behind. The discoveries of genius alone remain; it is to them we owe 
all that we now have, they are for all ages and all times; never young, 
and never old, they bear the seeds of their own life; they flow on in a 
perennial and undying stream; they are essentially cumulative, and 
giving birth to th*e additions which they subsequently receive, they 
thus influence the most distant posterity, and after the lapse of cen- 
turies produce more effect than they were able to do even at the mo- 
ment of their promulgation.” 

But the greatest evidence of this is not found in books or 
speeches but is seen and heard in everything around us. 

What is this iron music 

Whose strains are borne afar? 

The hammers of the world-smiths 
Are beating out a star. 

They build our old world over. 

Anew its mould is wrought. 

They shape the plastic planet 
To models of their thought. 

This is the iron music 

Whose strains are borne afar; 

The hammers of the world-smiths 
Are beating out a star. 

We hear the whirling sawmill 
Within the forest deep; 

The wilderness is clipped like wool. 

The hills are sheared like sheep. 

Down through the fetid fenways 
We hear the road machine; 

The tangled swamps are tonsured. 

The marshes combed and clean. 

We see the sprouting cities 
Loom o’er the prairie’s rim. 

And through the inland hilltops 
The ocean navies swim.

Across the trellised land-ways 
The lifted steamers slide; 

Dry shod beneath the rivers 
The iron stallions glide; 

Beneath the tunnelled city 
The lightning chariots flock, 

And back and forth their freight of men 
Shoot like a shuttlecock. 

The moon-led tides are driven back, 

Their waves no more are free. 

And islands rise from out the main 
And cities from the sea. 

We see the mountain river 
From out its channel torn 

And wedded to the desert 
That Plenty may be born; 

We see the iron roadway 
Replace the teamster’s rut; 

We see the painted village 

Grow ’round the woodman’s hut. 

Beneath the baffled oceans 
The lightning couriers flee; 

Across the sundering isthmuses 
Is mingled sea with sea. 

A granddaughter of the late Nath. Hullord Dodge, writing 
up a few prominent characteristics of the branch in Ohio, 
remarks : 

“As a rule, the Dodges in Ohio have handsome straight noses, and 
fine large eyes and large mouth, very handsome feet and hands. They 
are erect, and walk well; carrying their shoulders back, and their 
head thrown back somewhat. (There are exceptions, but these are 
mentioned as family characteristics.) They have never known pov- 
erty, but they have never been ostentatious in their way of living — 
set up no style; are not fond of show; cannot endure shams of any 
kind; have always enough and to spare. Some of the men have a 
fondness for fast horses; some of the women are literary in their 
tastes. At school, there are always bright Dodge boys and girls, cap- 
able scholars, but the boys hate restraint, and as soon as possible get 
into some business requiring activity of mind and body.” 

From Sir Peter Dodge to the present time the greatest who 
bore the name is probably Gen. G. M. Dodge, of Council Bluffs, 
Iowa. He was eminent in war and in peace. A great com- 
mander of the Union forces in the Civil War, he was also a 
great civil engineer and Chief Engineer of the Union Pacific 
Railroad during the period of its construction. He is one of 
the last survivors, if not the last survivor of the Major Generals 
who commanded the Grand Army of the Republic.

The following letter from Gen. Sherman is self-explan- 
atory : 

“Headquarters, Army of the U. S. 

Washington, D. C., April 20, 1877. 

To U. S. Consuls Abroad: 

I learn that Gen. G. M. Dodge is about going to Europe, where he 
may leave his children at school whilst he returns to America, where 
he is actively employed in railroad construction and management. I 
take great pleasure in commending General Dodge and family to the 
courtesy and politeness of all Americans, especially such as occupy 
official positions, because General Dodge is one of the generals who 
actually fought throughout the Civil War, with great honor and great 
skill, commanding a regiment, brigade, division and finally a corps 
d’armee, the highest rank command to which any officer can attain. 
He was with me in the West, especially in the Atlanta campaign where 
he was severely wounded close to Atlanta, and I think that he, and 
especially his children, should experience the attention of all officers 
of a government that might have perished had it not been for the 
blood of just such men as General Dodge. 

With great respect, 

W. T. Sherman, General.” 

By reason of his position as Chief Engineer he had charge 
of the ceremonies at the laying of the last rail and driving the 
golden spike on the completion of the U. P. R. R. 

. . . “On the 11th May, 1869, at Promontory Point, Utah, 

Gen. Dodge received the following dispatch; 

Washington, May 11, 1869. 

Gen. G. M. Dodge: 

In common with millions, I sat yesterday and heard the mystic 
taps of the telegraphic battery announce the nailing of the last spike 
in the great Pacific road. * * * 

All honor to you, to Durant, to Jack and Dan Casement, to Reed 
and the thousands of brave fellows who have wrought out this glorious 
problem in spite of changes, storms, and even doubts of the incredulous, 
and all the obstacles you have now happily surmounted. 

W. T. Sherman, General.” 

As Joseph Dodge preserved with certainty the line of 
descent from his first ancestor in America by his indorsement 
on the pocketbook, so Richard Dodge identified with certainty 
the connecting link between the Dodges of America and the 
Dodges of England by his last will and testament recorded 
in the Court House at Salem, Mass. This will appear by refer- 
ence to the fifth paragraph of the will, a copy of which follows :

MEMORIAL 


In my travels over this country I have been much im- 
pressed by the frequency with which the name of Dodge is met. 
You find Dodge Row, Beverly, Mass.; Dodge Park, Worcester, 
Mass.; Dodge Statue, Broadway, New York City; Dodge County, 
Ga.; Dodge Street, Buffalo, N. Y.; Dodge Street, Cleveland, O.; 
Dodgeville, Ashtabula Co., Ohio; Dodge County, Wis.; Dodge 
City, Iowa; Fort Dodge, Iowa; Dodge Street, Omaha, Neb.; 
and many other places where the Dodges have left their names 
in perpetual remembrance of their work. Truly our works do 
follow us.
